I've been trying for awhile to get DGA working with XFree86 4.0.1
(from cooker). The X modules are loaded, and everything else works,
but this.
[root@ajmitch X11]# dga
Xserver driver doesn't support DirectVideo on screen 0
[root@ajmitch X11]#
I'm running an i740 agp card, on 2.4.0-test6, but DGA was working with
the XFree86 4 server from Mandrake 7.1 (I'm running 6.1, btw). Also, I
had the same problems with 2.2.13, so it's not the kernel :)
As another example of what comes up, here's what happens when I try to
run Railroad Tycoon II demo from loki :
[ajmitch@ajmitch rt2_demo]$ ./rt2_demo
X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode
Major opcode of failed request: 137 (XFree86-DGA)
Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (XF86DGADirectVideo)
Serial number of failed request: 87
Current serial number in output stream: 88
[ajmitch@ajmitch rt2_demo]$
(Sorry about the big attachment, my website didn't want to let me in
to upload the XF86Config file)
